I'm assuming you ment #0 there ...

Why not ?    It /is/ a string in VBScript.   Could it be regarded as 
anything else ?

You could get into trouble with an argument like "123" (including the 
double-quotes this time), as its would be a number without those 
double-quotes, but now a string instead.

In this case (number/string confusion) you could try and see if the 
'vartype' or 'typename' functions could be of help.

And maybe also take a peek at named arguments (the "/x:y" form)
